I spent the Christmas break setting up a Riak cluster and documenting all the steps. I've got a howto/tutorial set up at http://jeff.jke.net/2011/10/02/setting-nosql-cluster that will walk you through the steps.
In particular, I aimed for low cost and low power. Each node in the cluster boots off the network (single point of maintenance for all node OS configuration) and just requires a data drive. Nodes are assigned addresses using DHCP and automatically update vm.args and execute reip if the node address changes from boot to boot. The scripts for this might be handy for anyone else running in an environment where machine addresses change (Amazon, etc). I'd love feedback, and more to the point, I'd like to find someone to walk through it step-by-step and make sure I didn't miss anything. Oh, and *thanks* to the list for helping me with configuration help over the last couple weeks! jeff -- jeffrey k eliasen Find and follow me on: Blog: http://jeff.jke.net Twitter: http://twitter.com/jeffreyeliasen Facebook: http://facebook.com/jeffrey.eliasen
